Rich Sawchak

Chief Financial Officer, Novetta

Under Rich Sawchak’s financial leadership, Novetta completed its integration of Berico in 2019, while continuing to grow business organically at more than 20% and maintain market-leading profitability.

Sawchak is responsible for corporate finance, accounting, contracts, compliance, IT, security and treasury management and also serves as the corporate secretary. Novetta, which is solely focused on advanced analytics in areas like machine learning, cyber, identity, cloud computing and data at scale, has a customer base centered around the most significant national security mission sets, Sawchak said.

“We attract and retain the premier talent in the industry through creating an employee experience that starts during the recruiting process and is maintained throughout an employee’s tenure with Novetta that focuses on career growth and working on the most exciting projects in the federal government,” Sawchak said.

Plus, the company’s foundation is rooted in technology-enabled services. Novetta has continued to partner with customers in new technology development, while investing significantly in its own resources in machine learning, cloud computing and advanced cyber R&D.

“These combined investments ensure that we can solve our customers’ most challenging problems and maintain Novetta’s leadership position in advanced analytics,” Sawchak added.

Why Watch:

Novetta plans to continue to accelerate its growth trajectory through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions in 2020. And key to the initiatives will be to become a prime contract holder in two to three additional customer agencies, according to Sawchak.
